What is a typical day for a Project Manager? There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question, as the role is characterised by variety and diversity 🤝 "No two days are the same: subject areas, project teams and project approaches are diverse and always enriching. Individual development and career opportunities, as well as respectful interaction with each other, made it easy for me to choose Viega," says Sonja Arens, IT Project Manager at Viega Deutschland. Our project management team specialises in projects with a high IT relevance and supports our corporate strategy. One of our team's key skills is communication and interaction with other specialist departments, which is very different from what is sometimes said about IT specialists. #viega

Especially in times of rising construction costs, building efficiently is essential 🏗 This is where digital construction processes and the intelligent use of data come into play: It enables precise detailed planning even before construction begins, thus saving costs. But how? Building Information Modelling (BIM) brings together all the relevant data in a digital 3D model. This provides transparency and facilitates communication between all stakeholders. Potential errors can be identified and corrected at an early stage, avoiding them later in the construction process ✔. Furthermore, by simulating different scenarios on the digital twin, maintenance and operation can be optimised, ultimately saving time, costs, energy and resources in the long term. Digital construction also offers the opportunity to integrate data from different sources, leading to more resource-efficient buildings. Overall, digital pre-design lays the foundation for successful and cost-effective construction projects in times of rising construction costs. 💪 #viega #BuildingtheFuture

The Future of Construction: Digital Expertise for Everyone 💡  At Viega, we are laying the foundation for a sustainable and future-proof construction sector by not only contributing to the development of highly skilled professionals, but also strengthening the digital skills of the entire construction industry. That is why we have developed comprehensive training programmes. These are aimed at both apprentices and experienced professionals. We impart not only Building Information Modeling (BIM) software skills but also fundamental principles of digital construction. Through partnerships with educational institutions and research institutes, we promote education and continuous learning in the field of BIM. Here's how we turn our ambitions into action: 👨🔧 Viega World: The first knowledge centre built entirely using BIM was realised in Attendorn, and was soon followed by the construction of the Viega Seminar Centre Austria. Thanks to the lessons learnt, this construction process was completed much faster. 👨🔧 Global skills development: We offer specialist training in 23 locations around the world. We are committed to continually broadening and deepening skills and methodological knowledge to meet the needs of different areas of expertise. 👨🔧 RWTH Aachen University Talent Program: As a partner company of the RWTH Aachen Talent Program, we support young talents in expanding their practical knowledge in Digital Construction. #viega #BuildingtheFuture

🌍 The building sector is one of the main sources of greenhouse gas emissions worldwide, with the construction and operation of buildings accounting for almost 40 per cent of global CO2 emissions. This enormous burden emphasises the need to plan, construct and operate buildings more sustainably. A key area for reducing emissions is the heating of domestic hot water. Here, attention must be paid not only to energy efficiency, but also to water quality. Even clean water always contains microorganisms such as legionella, which multiply particularly at temperatures between 20 and 45 degrees Celsius. Inhaling legionella as an aerosol can lead to legionnaires' disease, a severe form of pneumonia. To prevent this, water is currently kept at a temperature of at least 55 degrees Celsius, but this is very energy and emissions-intensive. Innovative research projects are working on finding solutions to safely heat water even at lower temperatures. Because every step towards reducing CO2 emissions in the building sector is a step towards a future worth living for everyone 🌱🏗️ Find out more about the role of the building sector in the fight against climate change on our blog: https://lnkd.in/eABCGiB8. #Viega #Sustainability #BuildingtheFuture #Innovation #DrinkingWater 

Saving Energy and Resources with Digital Construction 💡 The construction industry around the world is facing the challenge of reducing resource consumption and increasing energy efficiency. The solution? Digitalisation and the integration of sustainability criteria at an early stage to balance ecological, economic and social aspects. The golden formula for economical and environmentally friendly buildings 🌳  Our collaborations with renowned institutions show just how great the potential of digitalisation really is. The results range from the seamless integration of digital systems in building technology and operation to methods for simplifying complex digital models: In the project for our seminar centre, "Viega World", we worked together with the Fraunhofer-Institut für Solare Energiesysteme ISE and the Chair for Energy-Efficient Building at RWTH Aachen University to lay the foundations for how digital building models - as digital twins of the real building - can successfully map energy-relevant characteristics. The combination of BIM models, technical building equipment and building automation makes it possible to sustainably exploit energy efficiency potential over the entire life cycle of the training centre - a technology that can and should also be used in other buildings. This is how we ensure that resources are used as efficiently as possible. As one of the leading providers in the installation industry, we believe we have a responsibility here, as well as to reduce the construction industry's high emissions. That's why we want to drive digital solutions forward with our partners 🤝🏽 #viega #BuildingtheFuture

🌍 SPD-Fraktion im Landtag NRW zu Besuch in der Viega World: Energieeffiziente Trinkwarmwasserbereitung im Fokus Gestern durften wir den Fraktionsvorsitzenden und Mitglieder der #SPD-Fraktion im Landtag NRW in unserer Viega World begrüßen! 🚀 Die Landespolitiker interessierte vor allem, welchen Beitrag die Gebäudetechnik zur Wärmewende leisten kann. Im Mittelpunkt der gemeinsamen Diskussion mit Béatrice Jungblut, Andreas Fiefhaus und Dieter Hellekes stand die Steigerung der Energieeffizienz bei der Trinkwarmwasserbereitung im Gebäude. Die wichtigsten Erkenntnisse: ➡️ Die aktuelle Erwärmung des Trinkwarmwassers über die erforderliche Nutzungstemperatur ist energieintensiv und stellt eine enorme Emissionsbelastung dar. ➡️ Für eine nachhaltige Reduzierung von Emissionen im Gebäudesektor ist Technologieoffenheit für Systeme entscheidend, die Trinkwarmwasser energieeffizient erwärmen und verteilen. ➡️ In Bestandsbauten liegt ein erhebliches Potenzial für die energieeffiziente Optimierung von Warmwasserinstallationen. Ein herzliches Dankeschön an unsere Gäste für die inspirierenden Gespräche: an den Fraktionsvorsitzenden Jochen Ott und an seine Fraktionskollegen Alexander Vogt, André Stinka, Ralf Stoltze, Christin-Marie Stamm sowie an den Referenten für Wirtschaft, Industrie, #Klimaschutz und Energie der SPD-Fraktion im Landtag NRW Leonard Wessel und an Greta Funke. Gemeinsam gestalten wir die Zukunft der #Gebäudetechnik und setzen neue Maßstäbe für #Nachhaltigkeit. 🌱 #ViegaWorld #Trinkwasser #Innovation Fotos: Christian Neuss

Today, on #WorldRefugeeDay, we face a double challenge: in addition to global hotspots, ongoing #climate change is forcing millions of people to flee their homes. In mid-2023, climate-related disasters alone had forced some 36.7 million people to leave their homes. This is the highest number in a decade. Another alarming sign of the urgency of effective climate action. Reducing CO2 emissions is a crucial step towards limiting global warming and mitigating extreme weather such as floods, drought, and aridity. This is not only an environmental goal, but also a deeply humanitarian one - less CO2 means fewer people displaced from their homes. Let's use today as an opportunity to both work for peace in the many crisis areas around the world and to step up our efforts to protect the climate. Only together can we effectively address the causes and effects of global refugee movements 💪🌿 Read more about the role of climate change in global refugee movements on our blog: https://lnkd.in/eW2AGveM. #Viega #Sustainability

Tackling the housing shortage: Through collaboration and enablement 🏘 Whether it's population growth, urbanisation or regulatory hurdles – housing shortages are a major issue in many countries. In Germany alone, there was a shortage of 700,000 apartments last year, according to a study by the Pestel Institut and the construction research institute ARGE. What can be done about it? Existing buildings need to be extended and renovated and new apartments built. However, the construction industry is not only struggling with rising costs, but also with a lack of time, resources, and skilled workers. This is precisely where digital construction comes in – for example with the Building Information Modeling (BIM) working method. This requires everyone involved to work together. Collaboration and enablement are therefore key 🤝🏽 As one of the world's leading installation companies, we are an important part of the construction industry – which is why we have always been involved in construction issues. We see it as our duty to tackle these challenges together with the industry as a whole – for example with the "80 Sekunden - Neues Bauen" network. This is where decision-makers and innovators from politics, science, the construction and real estate industries come together to fight the housing shortage. The initiative shows what influence collaborative partnerships have on the status quo and what we can achieve. #Viega #BuildingtheFuture
